Route Tips
- Milan Malpensa (MXP) has two terminals – Terminal 1 for full-service airlines, Terminal 2 for Ryanair and budget carriers. Allow extra time for Terminal 2 which can be crowded.
- Moroccan immigration requires a passport valid for 6 months beyond arrival. EU citizens get 90 days visa-free. Have your return ticket and accommodation address ready.
- For direct Ryanair flights, Terminal 2 at MXP is often crowded – arrive 2.5 hours before departure. Online check-in is mandatory and opens 15 days before.
- Consider arriving at Marrakesh Menara Airport in the evening – the airport is close to the city and the drive at sunset offers a dramatic first impression.
- If traveling in summer (June-August), book morning flights as afternoon temperatures in Marrakesh regularly exceed 40°C, making airport transfers uncomfortable.
